The following Graduate School admissions requirements are minimum standards that identify
the pool of master's level applicants from which each academic unit makes its selection.
International applicants should consult "Admission of International Students" below
for further requirements.

Baccalaureate Degree: The applicant must provide an official transcript showing that
a bachelor's degree was awarded by an accredited college or university. The applicant
must have earned an acceptable grade point average. In addition, transcripts from
any other college or university attended may be requested. (Students who received
bachelor's degrees from the University of Memphis may disregard this requirement.)
Only transcripts received directly from an issuing institution are considered official.
For domestic students, signed and sealed transcripts that have been in the applicant's
possession can be used for admission purposes; however, official transcripts may later
be requested. Personal copies are not acceptable as official documents.

Entrance Examinations: New applicants to the Graduate School (except to the MALS program)
must have taken an appropriate entrance examination within five years of the application
date. Contact the appropriate program for information on which test(s) and what score(s)
are acceptable. Scores on MAT exams written in less than two-month intervals are not
acceptable. Test scores must be sent directly to Graduate Admissions from the testing
agency. The University of Memphis institution code number for reporting ETS scores
is R-1459. See program descriptions for more information on requirements. Some programs
may waive the entrance examination requirement for applicants with exceptional credentials,
extensive professional experience, or a prior graduate degree from an accredited institution.
These waivers are at the discretion of the academic program. See individual program
descriptions for details.

Program Requirements: Many academic units have separate departmental applications
and/or additional requirements for admission. See program descriptions for more information
on requirements.
